You might encounter this error if Catalyst CLI is not properly installed in your local system. You can try the following steps to rectify this error:

2. You must also check if the NPM version is greater than v12 by executing the `npm -v` command in your terminal.

3. Uninstall and [reinstall Catalyst CLI](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/getting-started/installing-catalyst-cli) with the `sudo` command in MacOS or in the Windows command prompt in the administrator mode.
